The Grosse Mythen offer more than just a summit hike: The circular hike around the Schwyz landmark promises fantastic views and wildlife observations. The hike starts after the ascent by the Holzegg aerial cableway from the mountain station "Holzegg" towards "Zwischet Mythen." On the route from "Günterigs" towards "Hasli," an extraordinary view of the mountains and lakes of Inner Schwyz opens up. The hike leads through the "Mythenbann," the oldest game reserve area in Switzerland from 1492, where, depending on the season, wildlife such as chamois, eagles, and marmots can be seen.
Mountain restaurants along the trail
On the way between Holzegg and "Zwischet Mythen," there are three mountain restaurants along the hiking trail: the Skihaus Holzegg, the Berggasthaus Holzegg, and the alpine hut Zwischet Mythen.
